Still, the Bulldogs Are Blowing Everyone out

By Petrella

The sign of a good team isn’t always wins and losses; it’s what you do in those wins and losses. And Fresno State has looked dominant against bad competition.

Per S&P+, the Bulldogs had a postgame win expectancy of at least 97% in every game but a loss to Minnesota (60%). That means if you gave each team an equal amount of luck and played the game 100 times, Fresno State would win at least 97 out of 100.

The adjusted scoring margins tell the same story. With the exception of Minnesota, Fresno deserved to win all its games by at least 18 points.
